Out of House and Home

Why is it that my 12 yo boy, who has recently shared with me that he now has hair under his arms, has suddenly reverted back to being an infant in a five foot tall body?

Observe Exhibits A, B, and C as follows:

He's a grump of epic proportion if he gets less than 10 hours of sleep. He actually prefers 12 out of the 24 he's given.

He cries at the drop of a hat. Or a baseball glove. Or a lego truck. Don't ask.

My first-born wants to eat...literally...every two hours. Just like a newborn.

Seriously? Is this going to happen with all of them? Because I don't think my husband and I together could make enough money to feed them all if this is going to continue. That's if I made any money at all.

I think I'll search Craigslist and see if there's anyone out there willing to pay a salary for doing laundry. I'm really good at that. My experience here is colossal.

Silver lining: At least he hasn't reverted back to diapers. Yet.
For this I can be eternally grateful.

Oh, Chel. I feel your pain. The bad news is that yes, they all go through it. Even the girls (though not to the same extent). The good news is that when they go to college you'll have tuition bills, but the decrease in food bill more than offsets it. See? There's light at the end of the tunnel!

About Me

I am a homeschooling momma of three fun, active, and sweet young boys. I am striving to serve the Lord in my home and become the woman that God has called me to be (though I have a LOOOONG way to go!) But I'm loving the ride.
I don't always get it right, but my heart's desire is to leave a legacy for the young men that God has entrusted to me. I'd like to share our journey with you, too.
Thanks for stopping by.
